A mouse as an example of an electronic equipment can be used in medical settings and includes a housing that can be gripped by a hand, a substrate which is arranged in a space in the housing and on which an electronic circuit component for calculating a state of the mouse is mounted, and an optical element (lens) which is arranged in a part of a bottom portion (housing bottom portion) of the housing and through which image light from outside enters. The optical element and the electronic circuit component are connected by a transmission unit capable of transmitting the image light. The substrate is arranged so as to be separated from the housing bottom portion upward in a Z direction by a distance between a lower surface of the housing bottom portion and a lower surface of the electronic circuit component in the Z direction and/or by a distance between an upper surface of the housing bottom portion and a lower surface of the substrate in the Z direction. For example, an optical fiber is used as the transmission unit.
